I love everything weird and colorful in this world, and I try to live a life that will make the world a little better once I'm gone.

Music that Changes Your Taste in Music

M. Ward, is a singer-songwriter and guitarist. His music is bluesy folk rock - hard to explain. You really must hear it to appreciate it. His work on the guitar is absolutely amazing, better than I have heard in quite some time. M. Ward's music has a way of changing you. It changes your mood when you hear it, and it changes how you judge music in general...and occasionally it changes how you think.

M. Ward is clearly focused on his music...not the music business. He doesn't pander to popularity or the mass market, and the end result is extraordinary.

M. Ward has partnered with some other great artists in the formation of two groups She & Him (M. Ward and Zooey Deschanel) and Monsters of Folk (with Conor Oberst, Jim James, and Mike Mogis).

M. Ward's 'Hold Time' - M. Ward's Newest Release

Hold Time
Hold Time
CDAlthough he's been compared to everyone from John Fahey to Tom Waits to Howe Gelb, with "Hold Time", it's clear that M. Ward, with his brilliant guitar playing and innate sense of melody, is one of those rare and special talents who defy comparison and compartmentalization. His deft guitar picking, bar room piano, and voice like drizzled honey make him a huge favorite of music critics and the focus of public praise from such disparate talents as Norah Jones and Oasis' Noel Gallagher.This album is also being released as an LP Record.

Transfiguration of Vincent

M. Ward - Transfiguration of Vincent
M. Ward - Transfiguration of Vincent
Full of snappy, loping pop tunes interwoven with mellow instrumental passages, Transfiguration of Vincent shows Ward to be a terrific folk and blues guitarist, a perceptive, witty storyteller, and--in tossing piano, percussion, harmonica, and various other instruments into mixes that never feel the least bit cluttered--an imaginative arranger. He's also an expressive vocalist, whether in a winsome upper register that recalls Ben Harper or his sandy-throated midrange. There's not a weak moment on this dark-horse gem of a disc. --Anders Smith Lindall
